Saw him at his first ever apperance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He was a no body, Eddie Rabbit canceled due to an illness, the year was 1984 (I think) and this who?? showed up to sing. My mom was sooooooo pissed. She was a huge Eddie fan and this a-hole plays in his spot. 
Good show from what I remember of it, I was only 8.
If it wasn't for Eddie Rabbit's illness, I don't think George would be who he is today. Everytime I hear that song "If it wasn't for Texas", I think to myself....."if it wasn't for Eddie".
Love all his music, even though it took my mom several years to get over that little mishap.

I know I am going to get flamed for this. My wife and her family thinks George is the best thing since sliced bread. His music is good. No doubt. I have gone to see him at Rodeo twice in the last few years with them. Honestly, they were some of the worst concerts/shows I have ever been to. He came out and sat on a barstool and sang. It didn't even seem like he was that into it. My in laws joked that he doesn't want to be there because he doesn't need the money. It really seemed to show through. For someone with such a rep he should actually act like he wants to be there and put a show on for the fans who paid big $$$ to see him. Alan Jackson on the other hand has put on some of the best country concerts I have been to and I would go see him again any day. He was sick as a dog one year and the rodeo had Pat Green come in to take his place. Alan Jackson refused to cancel and said he would play at least a few songs after Pat Green finished. Well, Pat Greenput on a full show (at least for Rodeo). Then Alan Jackson came out and in obvious pain began to play some great songs and tell everyone how much he apprecaited them staying for him to give them waht they came for. He proceeded to perform for almost 2 hrs even though it was killing him. That shows what kind of artist he really is.
Ok Flame me. I don't care.

Will do....
I saw him a couple of years ago (or was it last year?? anyways), at the HLS&R put on a great show. It's hard to play every song that good, he has a long list. He even pointed out George Bush Sr. and Barbera in the front row. To me, he just tried to maximize as many songs in a short amout of time.
Saw Pat Green a couple of times.....one hell of a performer. Love his music. One time he wore a swade sweeter and it was 70ish outside 80ish in the dome. He was sweating his *** off, thought he might faint from heat exhaustion.

Pat Green is usually drunk. That might be why has was dressed all wrong. He wasn't sober enough to know what to wear

To love George is to know him and his ways... he is in his 50's and he is all about being a class act and he really doesn't get like the others. I wish he would....
but i know it's not his style but ya know us ladies still drool over him... After the concert here in GA he got bad sick and lost his voice and had to cancel a few shows. He is doing them later on in the spring at the end of his tour.
He lost his daughter by a drunk driver and he has never been rowdy on stage since.
You will have a better show by going to see Kenny or Garth they have a ball on stage.
Sorry it wasn't that good for ya.

GEORGE kicked *** in Sacramento!! Not a chair in sight tonight dear and he was on stage for almost 2 hours after canceling 3 shows late last month when he lost his voice. I loved his version of Folsom Prison Blues too! Anyway, G'night!
